The algorithm was validated near the Korean Peninsula between the months of April and August from April 2012 to June 2015, by using surface observations at 45 meteorological stations in South Korea. The optical features of LSF were estimated by using satellite retrievals and simulated data from the radiative transfer model. The PI was calculated using the combination of three satellite-observed variables: 1) the reflectance at 0.67 \u03bcm (R0.67) from COMS, and 2) the FY-2D R0.67 minus the COMS R0.67 (\u25b3R0.67) and 3) the FY-2D-COMS difference in the brightness temperature difference between 3.7 and 11.0 \u03bcm (\u0394BTD3.7-11). The three variables, adopted from the top three probability of detection (POD) scores for their fog detection thresholds: \u25b3R0.67 (0.82) &gt; \u0394BTD3.7-11 (0.73) &gt; R0.67 (0.70) &gt; BTD3.7-11 (0.51). The LSF PI for this algorithm was significantly better in the two case studies compared to that using COMS only (i.e., R0.67 or BTD3.7-11), so that this improvement was due to \u25b3R0.67 and \u0394BTD3.7-11. Overall, PI in the LSF spatial distribution has the merits of a high detection rate, a specific probability display, and a low rate of seasonality and variability in detection accuracy. Therefore, PI would be useful for monitoring LSF in near-real-time, and to further its forecast ability, using next-generation satellites.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs11111283","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,29]],"date-time":"2019-05-29T11:31:28Z","timestamp":1559129488000},"page":"1283","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Probability Index of Low Stratus and Fog at Dawn using Dual Geostationary Satellite Observations from COMS and FY-2D near the Korean Peninsula"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Jung-Hyun","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Atmospheric Science and Engineering, Ewha Womans University, Seoul 03760, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jung-Moon","family":"Yoo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Science Education, Ewha Womans University, Seoul 03760, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2111-861X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yong-Sang","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Atmospheric Science and Engineering, Ewha Womans University, Seoul 03760, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Dong","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Joint Institute for Regional Earth System Science and Engineering, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA"},{"name":"NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD 20771, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jin-Hee","family":"Jeong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Atmospheric Science and Engineering, Ewha Womans University, Seoul 03760, Korea"},{"name":"Data Assimilation team, Korea Institute of Atmospheric Prediction Systems (KIAPS), Seoul 07071, Korea"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,5,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Ahrens, C.D.
